Sloane Monroe is an artist who constantly surprises with her creativity, and her latest single, "if i had a wish…" beautifully showcases how being open and soft can be just as impactful as an electrifying beat.
Monroe first caught attention with her upbeat dance-pop hit "Magnetic," which landed on several popular Spotify playlists. With her new single, the third release from her upcoming EP "Girls in Denim" she invites listeners into a softer, more emotional space. This gentle ballad replaces bright, energetic vibes with a more intimate and reflective atmosphere. The heart of "if i had a wish…" nods to classic jazz tunes, wrapped up in a dreamy, lo-fi sound with lush orchestration. It starts with a gentle piano melody, quietly setting the mood, and is soon joined by a warm blend of violins that provide a comforting touch. Monroe's voice floats above everything, carrying lyrics that feel both deeply personal and relatable to anyone reflecting on love and life's possibilities. This song doesn't grab you with loud hooks or flashy beats, instead, it draws you in slowly, piece by piece. It's the kind of tune that's perfect for quiet moments when you're on your own, staying with you even after the last note fades away.
Monroe's work with the violin is especially striking here. Each note feels intentional, as she seamlessly merges her classical training with a modern pop style. It's this blend of skill and heartfelt expression that makes the song feel like a personal secret shared through music.
